Rippling Work Experiences
5.0
Great team and culture
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
February 6, 2021
Pros: There's a strong engineering culture. Engineers get a level of visibility and decision-making that's unparalleled in a company this size. There's an incredibly high number of former CTOs and founders on the team. Tons of great people to learn from.
The company has a clear strategic vision and a great product.
Lots of career opportunities as the company is growing quickly, and people are taking on new roles and founding new product lines.
Cons: Timezone differences are hard on the India team. Most team meetings and company all-hands are in the mornings for the US and evenings for India.
